Google did the "how many gas stations in the us" interviews for years before finally realizing that doing well on questions like this had no correlation to success on the job. Now, in reaction to that failure, everyone is doing the LeetCode thing instead, and presumably will eventually realize that this doesn't correlate either (especially irrelevant in this CoPilot era when ability to memorize and code up an algorithm is becoming about as relevant as ability to drive a stick-shift car).

There's really no substitute for interviewing based on candidate's experience.

Apparently the new job market trend is applicants firing off dozens/hundreds of AI generated applications, which are then screened by an AI on the other end.
It kinda just reads like marketing fluff, they have a 30% reduction but they want a big valuation so they decided to find some irrelevant system to compare to so they could say it was a 90% reduction.

A terminal in that size class would literally start melting if it was pushing 1kw.

I asked about self-hosted relays on the forum [1]. Right now it doesn't look like they have plans to open the source code behind the actual service. Not sure if that's a 'no, never', or a 'we didn't think about it', but it would be good to ask on the Pi Forums maybe.

Otherwise... the service uses wayvnc for the Pi server part, and you could replicate the setup with TigerVNC easily enough over local LAN or through a VPN. The Pi Connect service is the hosted backend; not sure what they're using there.

Yeah, it's still very very early in the process and I released it as I have a talk at Ruby Kaigi going over some of how this works next Tuesday, so I wanted something out even if it's simple for now.

But you know what does increase crime rates? Vacant buildings.
The reason why it's more profitable to do ultra-luxury is that regulations increase fixed costs, which make it less profitable to do projects that would have had lower expected returns, like affordable apartments.
My trunk is push-button. I’ve had to manually hold it in place for it to latch when I’ve had it very full with materials soft enough to compress. It won’t force it on its own.

Would it break my finger if I placed it right on the edge? I don’t know. I never thought to try.

This and other similar CPU-bound operations may be unreasonable to detect at analysis time. I would encourage users to run with asyncio debug mode in tests to help catch these: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-dev.html#debug-mod.... Granted that's runtime, but there are limitations on what analysis can perform, it's just meant to help catch obvious issues.

What kind of sensor are they using to detect an object in the way?
The thesis isn't about "downtowns" across the country but a particular developer in NYC. Older buildings have more usable space because they aren't subject to the same standards as new buildings.

And, because of zoning reforms, no new building would be allowed to overwhelm a Manhattan street the way the hulking towers of the postwar period did. A developer who constructed a tower the same height as 55 Broad would likely have to sacrifice twenty per cent of the rentable space.

The target demographic doesn't care about windowlessness:

New York remains a place where many ambitious young people go to start their careers, if not to stay, and this demographic is ideal for the hotel-style conversions for which office towers are most suitable. Moreover, Berman said, “young people are social—they don’t want to sit in the middle of a forest on a Zoom call.”

Renters are now used to the layouts of chain hotels, where there’s one window by the bed, so Berman’s bathrooms and kitchens didn’t need to be sunny, and the kitchens could have a minimal footprint. “Our demographic doesn’t cook,” he said. He referred to the other rooms without windows as “home offices.”

Avinash Malhotra, an architect who has done several conversions with Berman, noted that a single office tower can be carved up into hundreds of little units, as in a hotel. “He is not making housing for the homeless,” Malhotra said. “But I often joke among my employees that what we do is slums for the rich.”
Remember the reason that offices are empty is because people are working from home. So there is no "commute to work." Social and shopping needs would still be met inside the city.
I thought it came from hardware, where an erroneous component placement would lead to releasing the magic smoke.
At the risk of continuing this off-topic thread — the Zero 2 W is probably the sweet spot for value for the Pi right now, in terms of what you get for the price, and the utility of the device. (I'm setting one up as a PiSCSI emulator for my old Macs this week!)

Pi Connect doesn't work on the Zero 2 W though ;)
And yet Dr. Roy Spencer -- the author of this article -- remains a climate denialist.

He's a Stage 2 denialist: climate change is real, but it isn't anthropogenic. So... we're dumping CO2 into the atmosphere, and CO2 absorbs heat, but something is countering that effect, and something else is actually behind the warming.

Oh, he's also a creationist. Not directly relevant. But it's just so damn weird that one of our key primary sources for climate data seems like a very poor-quality scientist, who disagrees with the obvious consequences of his own work.
Yes, as with an agency you get a team. For example, we build MVPs and we offer consultancy, design, development, deployment. And the resources we offer is full time.
It’s wild how capitalism enthusiasts will throw numbers around and confidently assert that their arbitrary concoction is accurate and meaningful.

Very cool! Will definitely check it out.

Random question: when you "pause" a test, is it actually pausing the capybara/rspec test such that I can have a breakpoint/debugger/REPL experience to try out various capybara/rspec code?

The reason I ask: one of the slowest/annoying parts of writing capybara tests is the context jump between "this is the css selector i get from chrome dev tools" and "this is the capybara/rspec code which I use in my tests". While they are similar, there are differences which slow things down: locating buttons based on text (vs css), case sensitivity issues with text, ambigious matches, wanting to use nested "find" calls [ie: find(css: ".modal").click_button("Close")], trying to use page objects vs selectors directly in tests, etc.

Often times my first attempt is "close" but not quite right, which compounds when you hit that on most steps of the user's flow.

super stretch goal: if you are using page objects in your rails app, if the page objects where written in a way that "cyperful" could parse them, you COULD have a feature where cyperful could highlight the page objects on the page. So instead of showing me css selectors, you draw a box around a page/section object.

I know that Playwright was doing some cool stuff with their "Pick Locators" and it allowing you to test playwright locators in the tool, not sure if this ever got extended to Page Objects or not. https://playwright.dev/docs/test-ui-mode#pick-locator
I feel the same way about e-bikes: expensive, proprietary parts and form factors everywhere. Oh, your battery is worn out? You need one that's custom molded to your downtube? That's too bad.

Thankfully they're easier to DIY than an EV car.
"I can’t tell you the number of people I’ve met who left Google because it was limiting their career, even when they were deeply comfortable working there."

This is why they pay so high. It's a trap. That, and the apparent "status" of working there (which has mostly worn off now)

You've expressed my frustration with what I experienced there exactly. But I do wish I could have that pay back...

Also re: "agile" I came into "agile" 20ish years ago in the form of eXtreme Programming, and it looked nothing like the cargo cult that is SCRUM or its imitations today. It was, in the end, a set of precepts to put creative power into the hands of developers and let them just get things done without management getting in the way of how -- but in exchange the customer is given the ability to say what things get done and (to some degree) when. Developers do their own estimates. "You ain't gonna need it". No big "upfront design". Refactoring and testing, architecture and design built in as a constant overhead as just standard best practices, not stories or tasks in themselves. Planning meetings are coworkers hashing things out in a room, and "stories" are sticky notes on a whiteboard expressed in minimal, non-technical terms. Standups are literally people in a circle giving a very brief update, in case anybody else is interested, not a ritual to prove you're attending work today, or to show off.

In this system, design is an emergent property of a creative group of experts working together. It doesn't preclude design documents, and it still involves architecture discussions. But it doesn't require an explicit PRD/design-doc process.

Japan just used fiber optics to run sunlight to inside apartments for natural light in skylights. Obviously the apartments are cheaper typically, and as long as people get exposure to light like this they are generally ok.

I feel like this whole effort is not a technical problem but a cultural and financial issue. I don’t think the problem is whether it can be done, but whether the tax structure is in place to encourage it.
I thought ships were a little different since they can just follow the regulations of their flagged country and skirt a lot of rules.
I use a single printed sheet for each week. I carry last week plus this week. That helps me to update the current sheet based on last week. Then each week, I throw away the old sheet. It's enough for me. As long as I am progressing week over week, that is enough. Are you aware of meso-cycles? Basically: 4-8 weeks on, then one week at half weight, half reps, or full rest. You can really build a lot more muscle using meso-cycles.

This is not true. Here in Holland developers of high rises are forced to make 40% of it social housing. This works quite well. The social housing system is broken, but thats mostly because they havent built enough housing in the last 50 years.

Why do you think the luxury buildings are a "big issue"? People who can move into those buildings will move into them. This frees up the lower priced apartments they previously (or otherwise would have) inhabited.
It would be pretty fantastic to have some office space still, since now it will be possible to live right next door. Or same door even!
I'm not from the US so I could be misunderstanding the situation but I think free speech in this context means the ability to say anything (good or bad) against groups of people without moderation.

Consider it a sandbox and a more minimal syntax around what Rubocop already does well. If anything I may try and upstream some of it later after it takes more shape.

It's also used to wrap a lot of AST tools for a talk I have next week, hence the earlier release even if it's fairly simple.
familiarity with tools being assumed given the HN audience I don't think is a big issue. No issue with asking I've found if one isn't sure, usually someone will answer!
Thanks for the details. I have also considered to always be always on a VPN when on my mobile (Wireguard) but was worried about batteries, intended to test that, forgot, intended again, forgot and here we are :)
I’m pretty sure BLAS will tile out the matrix multiplication internally anyway, so it doesn’t matter. At least for matmat would, is matvec special?
U.S. East Coast adopts 'living shorelines' approach to keep rising seas at bay
I liked the analogy with hyenas and Saint Bernard's. The Saint Bernard is high-maintenance, require lots of care and attention. They are very loyal but need to constantly be told what to do. The hyena is highly opportunistic, they see and hear everything and need to be monitored constantly or they run off with your company. They over-sell everything specially themselves. The Saint Bernard's all need their own pen or they cant write, if there is one pen in the building all of the hyenas can write.
Maybe they’ve been added since you looked, but there are two Beecher’s-related cheeses listed for Seattle [1][2]. You have to click the number next to the Seattle dog to see the complete list of dishes that includes them.

And not to pile on, but the Seattle dog is definitely popular and somewhat ubiquitous to the point it’s common to find cream cheese next to the other condiments at backyard barbecues.

It is a website that you can type in some web technology such as "

Looking at those flags, several of them are erroring about things that have been deprecated since before I was born. If you're going to complain that it's breaking old code, I have to ask why this code is simultaneously important enough to you to use a modern compiler with modern flags to build it and not important enough to bother changing for 30 years.
So, it sounds like something that can be trivially implemented just as well on Windows, macOS, iOS, and xBSD?

If Linux can do it, why not the others?
No, the big bang is not a white hole. A white hole has an antihorizon. Our universe does not.
Objects in motion continue in motion. So without energy being created or destroyed, why would you expect a contraction instead of continuing expansion?

Real closed loop systems are purely theoretical and the only one we know of is the Universe, so your statements about them are circular. One big unidirectional aspect of the universe is entropy - it’s a non-reversible state. Going to a previous state requires more energy than what you started with.
When I was at Google I mentored a lot of early career engineers and I always told them to write more docs than they think they need. Sometimes docs will catch problems beforehand but early in the career writing easy docs is a simple way to show independence and competence. It slows down projects but Google is probably gonna cancel that project anyway and my theory was "Google doesn't care about you so caring about it just makes you a chump". It was in most ways a great place to work but it slowly drove me insane.
They’d still need to host servers somewhere.
Hey atmanactive,
Thanks for your reply. I've added the feature, and it will be online very soon.
Hope this improves the overall UX.
But what is also wrong with the UX, because you said “The UX is horrible”?
I'm confused on the need for cytpes/etc here. You can directly modify somearr.strides and somearr.shape. And if you need to set them both together, then there's numpy.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided. Unless I'm missing something, you can do the same assignment that ctypes is used for here directly in numpy. But I might also be missing a lot - I'm still pre-coffee.

On a different note, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cython in this context. This is distinct from, but broadly related to things like @cython.boundscheck(False). Cython is _really_ handy, and it's a shame that it's kinda fallen out of favor in some ways lately.
Or, you know, don't risk losing a finger to prove How Great The Truck Is.
As someone that works with both, one of the best design decisions of .NET was going back to the managed languages that predated Java, and include the same kind of features for low level programming, and proper value types.

Granted they didn't expose everything to C#, rather C++/CLI or having to emit MSIL directly, but since Midori, and Core reboot, those remaining features have been slowly exposed to C# as well.

Meanwhile on Java side we keep getting Valhala on little pieces, and most likely stuff like Panama or Vector types, will never make it to ART.
Plumbing (Kitchens & Bathrooms)

The huge issue in conversions is the amount of plumbing needed (and associated cost).

It's not uncommon that an entire office floor might only have 1 restroom area & 1 mini-kitchen.

But that same floor, configured as apartments, might have 10+ apartments ... which means 10x the plumbing for bathrooms and kitchens that didn't exist before.

And having feeder plumbing that can support that 10x (or more) increase in water/waste volume.
Right now in many places we're in a bit of an inversion where you can rent for less than the cost to buy - because some owners have old properties with low mortgage rates, etc.

But the main deal is people are still in "appreciation mode" where they don't really care if on paper they're losing money, because the house is appreciating faster than that.

Once appreciation slows or dries up (or prices start going back down) then things will get suddenly interesting.
how does one publish such research independently

Twitter, Youtube, or a blog. Maybe Archivx if you are feeling fancy.

In general people in the ecosystem of peer reviewed journals is not looking for more work. By design it is not inclusive of lay people. From a practical standpoint the fastest way to get reliable access to the peer reviewed ecosystem is probably a graduate degree (PhD preferred). Good luck.
The algorithm to close a truck / frunk without assistance:

0. Open trunk and put your finger in between the trunk opening

1. Apply force to the trunk that you would do if there was no finger in between trunk

2. Depending on the newtons of force you have applied your finger will ether get damaged or broken.

I guess the car could have some type of sensor to not shut but that sounds like a bad idea also.
I don't want to give it the views...
He's able to bend the finger after he "breaks" it, so it isn't broken, but that is a nasty crush.

Edit: well it could be broken, but I'm suspicious without further evidence.
Same here, I only ever see any Pi graphics during the initial setup.

I guess the use case here is something like a remote workstation easily accessible from any device.
A lot of people defending Boeing are simply using the Trump playbook. Which always goes as follows: Yes it's true -- Boeing may be bad -- but even Airbus is worse! It must be the entire industry that is doing this due to increased scrutiny on Boeing -- drain the airline industry swamp!

McDonnell-Douglas have no involvement with Airbus and Airbus still maintains an immaculate safety record the past few years relative to Boeing. Boeing alone was never the issue -- their partnership with McDD however has caused these issue perhaps the US gov should buy out their stake with a compulsory purchase order for the sake of national security.

Boeing is only a few disasters away from a complete loss in confidence in the company at this point.
